Who are you?

I woke up in the middle of the night. I heard knocking on the door, and someone was asking for help. I didn't know what was on the other side of the door. I wanted to open it, but I hesitated. I wondered who or what was behind the door because this place was secluded, standing alone in the woods. Even though I was scared, I still opened the door. Opens the door

The next morning, I was sitting in front of two men. "Who are you?" I asked them. The injured man replied, "I'm David, and this is my assistant Jason." David asked, "And what about you?" "I'm Ashley, you can call me Ash." "Can I ask how you ended up here?" I asked. David looked at his assistant, and then suddenly, the assistant spoke. "We were thrown here. Someone was chasing us last night, and we fell off a cliff. Our car crashed, but luckily we survived. We walked for a long time and reached this place. Even David and I were surprised to find a house here... in the middle of the woods!" David's assistant exclaimed. "But you didn't say if the people chasing you were armed," Ashley replied. "Yes, they had guns," David answered. "Can we stay here until Sir David recovers?" asked David's assistant. "Yes, you can stay here, but on one condition: you leave as soon as he's healed," Ashley replied. "Thank you so much for taking us in, Miss Ashley," the assistant said.

One week later

David was almost fully recovered. "Sir," said David's assistant, "I was just thinking, how does a woman manage to live in such a secluded place, especially all alone?" David replied, "I don't know." "Did you call Sam?" David asked. "Yes, sir," his assistant replied. "They said they're looking for whoever is responsible for this and will send a helicopter here in the next three days."

"Miss Ashley," someone called out. Ashley turned around. "Mister Jason, can I help you?" she asked. "Can I talk to you, Miss Ashley?" Jason asked. "Of course," Ashley replied. "How do you manage to live in this place all by yourself?" Jason asked. "Is that your only question, Mister Jason?" Ashley replied. "It depends," Jason said. "If you answer my question," he added. "Is that so?" Ashley replied. "Yes," Jason confirmed. "I'm used to living alone, and I don't have a family," Ashley answered. "No family... You're saying you have no family other than yourself?" Jason asked"Yes," Ashley replied. "How many years have you been living here?" Jason asked. "Over eight years now, all by myself," Ashley answered. Jason was taken aback by her response."Why did you ask that?" Ashley asked, her voice laced with curiosity.

"Oh, nothing," Jason started, then trailed off. "Just curious," he mumbled.

"Curious about what?" Ashley pressed, her eyebrows raised.

Suddenly, a figure approached them. "Jason," David called out.

"Sir, do you need anything?" David's assistant asked.

"No," David replied.

"Mr. David," Ashley addressed him, her voice firm."Miss Ashley, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be leaving in the next three days," David said.

"Oh, is that so?" Ashley replied.

"It's better that way," Ashley added, her tone suggesting that she was relieved.
